    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of fabricating a vertical MOS transistor, comprising the steps of: forming, above a semiconductor surface, a conductive layer in at least one dielectric layer; etching a hole through at least the conductive layer, the hole exposing an inner lateral edge of the conductive layer and a portion of the semiconductor surface; forming a gate oxide on the inner lateral edge of the conductive layer and a bottom oxide on the portion of the semiconductor surface; forming an etch-protection sidewall on the lateral edge of the hole, the sidewall covering the gate oxide and an outer region of the bottom oxide, leaving an inner region of the bottom oxide exposed; etching the exposed inner region of the bottom oxide until the semiconductor surface is reached; and depositing a semiconductor material in the hole.

    Abstract: Memory devices and methods of manufacturing such devices are provided herein. In at least one embodiment, a memory device includes a plurality of phase-change memory cells. An electrically-insulating layer covers lateral walls of each of the phase-change memory cells, and a thermally-insulating material is disposed on the electrically-insulating layer and covers the lateral walls of the phase-change memory cells.
